M says she's
transgendered. Her open-minded mother doesn’t completely believe this, given
M’s ultrafemininity as a little girl. But sexuality/gender identity is fluid
these days, even in middle school. M began seventh grade with a male name and
identity. Her grandmother recently
helped her order a breast binder. We marveled at the kindness of that act.
I wonder at the grace with which some families navigate these rough seas. M is blessed with a good family.
